"We are pleased with the District Court's ruling. At Nike, we are committed to diversity and inclusion, and we strive to treat our employees equally. We believe that diversity drives innovation and allows us to attract and retain world class talent. We need fair and equitable laws that prevent discrimination and treat all Oregonians equally."

"As I have said before, it doesn't make sense to exclude people from the constitutional rights they should have. That is why we, like many other Oregon businesses, filed a brief with the court in this case, and why we are pleased that the court has recognized that Oregon's laws need to come into alignment with the US constitution. It should have happened a long time ago."

"Marriage is an important, individual choice that should be extended to everyone. We are proud to be in state that recognizes this fundamental human right. Inclusion and diversity are central tenets for our company and employees."

"Our position has always been one which advocated for freedom of choice, and opposed discrimination of any kind. We applaud the efforts of a great many groups and individuals to ensure that freedom of personal choice is upheld in Oregon. Today's decision by Judge Michael McShane further protects that right for everyone."

AFL-CIO President Tom Chamberlain:

"The gravity of today's ruling for our state is clear. On a less grand, though possibly even more important scale, the gravity of Judge McShane's decision for working families across our state will be measurable in dollars and dimes, in freedoms and rights, and in working peoples' daily lives. This is a monumental day for families across Oregon, and for working people who just wanted the same shake as their coworkers. As an ally for all workers in our state, I am grateful to see this day finally come to Oregon."
